PLANTATION — A fire that started on the roof of the Shangri-La disco caused about $20,000 in damages, Fire Chief Robert Pudney said Tuesday.

The fire erupted at 5:30 p.m. Monday when a roofing company was pouring hot tar, which flowed into a roof air-conditioning unit, Pudney said. The air conditioner short-circuited and caught fire, he said.

No injuries were reported, and the fire was extinguished in 10 minutes, Pudney said.
